One of the precious few tools specially engineered for lefties, this bypass model has a rotating grip on the finger-side handle that turns as you squeeze your fist, reducing the blisters and finger fatigue common at the end of a day of pruning. We prefer the coil springs on this pruner over the "Slinky" type because they're strong, move smoothly, and don't pinch. Plus, you can oil them. Approx. $60; felcostore.com
